It serves the purpose that the driver will be automatically modprobed if
someone calls:

  platform_device_register*(...,  "gcc-ipq6018", ...);

So for everything that is only going be probed from DT (or ACPI) this
does not add any value. As such there are several other places where
these aliases should be dropped.
